Mind sharing your experience here on opening a Singapore bank account?
What about Malaysia bank which offer foreign currency account?
What requirement do they need?
Sure. This is a seven year old account, so maybe things have changed in the meanwhile. In Singapore they have "local" (DBS, POSB, OCBC etc.) banks and "foreign" banks (ANZ, HSBC. StanChart etc.). I opened that account with a foreign bank, because for a "local" bank-bank account you needed a local guarantor. For the foreign bank at the time I only needed my passport and a 1 $ deposit. Nothing fancy with that account though, like credit card in USD or high interest etc. It's pretty bare bone, also, if you want to withdraw USD cash from your USD account there will be a fee in-lieu of currency exchange rate. But it's included in the online banking and that's what I needed. I'm not familiar with the banks in Malaysia, as I never lived there, but I'm pretty sure Malaysian banks offer foreign currency accounts for individuals. They'd be silly not to. Ask the one you are with now, they might be able to help or have additional pointers.

[...] The Raspberry Pis are standalone mining units with their LCD displays showing the mining details. [...]
That is one of the cooler things I've seen lately! Got a link handy to a how-to?

[...]I have a hard time believing anyone able to send money to btc-e exchange without paying large fee.[...] It's not so bad anymore, you can wire transfer to their USD account (500.- min) for 1% btc-e commission. The funding page on btc-e still say they don't accept wire from US bank. How do you fund your btc-e account? From an USD account in SG. But I'm sure you can send any other currency and the receiving bank will auto-convert. Of course you will loose some there because of the exchange rate. Or conversely, tell your local bank that you need to pay in USD and they will convert for you, again you will loose out there by several %.

[...] I'm just trying to share with you guys something that has already made me money just in 2 days. [...] At the risk of feeding the troll... Would you mind reporting back in regular intervals? Like one month down the road? Every three months? Two days is way to short to make a judgement. Sure, no problem for me to report back in intervals. Since they provide a 60 days money back guarantee, I have nothing to lose if it's not performing in the long run. Btw, here's a screenshot of their current live test account: LOL, looking at those graphs, it looks like the "profit" comes from the rise in the BTCUSD rate. See how they correlate? EDIT: I guess what I'm trying to say: You will have to show us that the bot does better than just holding BTC. Post your full trade history to pastebin or similar. EDIT: Removed silly comment

Hi,
Because of the recent difficulty jump, the variances on Bitminter would be quite large. A lot of our customers (about 80%) are new to bitcoin mining. They would not understand the month to month variances so we had to temporarily switch to the Guild for a while. In September we have 110 terahashes coming on-line. The variance would not affect us with that amount of power.
We are very much still working with bitminter. Right now we have to do what serves our customers until the larger majority of our hashing power comes on-line.
Thanks
Emmanuel
To me, this doesn't make sense. You will not be the only ones bringing fresh hashing power to the table in the next few months. So there is a possibility that the hash power proportionally per pool remains the same, when all the new "big" players come online. What I mean is that the % of hash power per pool might stay the same or similar. In other words if variance worries you, that your customers won't understand this basic part of mining, you always will have to stay with the biggest pool. By staying with BitMinter you could have tried to make a difference. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Rather newbie question - I've got 2 PCs each running some USB ASICs, and the Bitminter client pointing to the same account. Is there a problem with this set up, I don't seem to be getting the sort of output I'd hoped for?
Perhaps I'm just being impatient. Both machines show 'Approx. mint speed' as 0.04, so that ought to be 0.08 altogether.
Im keen to know this too. Did you create two workers?

The USD ticker was switched to bitstamp. The spread between Mt.gox and other exchanges is getting a bit ridiculous and I don't beleive it to be a fair representation of the current market price. The charts ( http://blockchain.info/charts/market-price) will still use Mt.gox for consistency. Seems like it would be easy (relatively, given the data you already collect) to calculate a weighted average between all the exchanges you track, which would be a better one number representation of the exchange rate. Something like bitcoinaverage.com

Just in 2 days, made $20 profit with $100 investment. You have read my review of the robot here => http://*.com You started with BTC this week and you are already into the bots?

Not sure if you guys heard of the First Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot?
I did a review of it here - http://*.com
So far the results are pretty solid!
Haven't looked at your link. There are others been around for a while like bots of bitcoin too. The thing with bots... Yes, there are profitable ones (after all they say 80% of wall street is bot trading), but then if you put the time in to design a profitable bot why would you share it, if you could just rake in all the money from your bot? Just look at all this shitty, crappy forex bots. All they want is your money. Past results are no indicator for future results.
